Berries!

Ohhhh la laaa, I’ve been all over berries this summer. Aside from making delicious blueberry, strawberry and raspberry protein smoothies every other morning, I’ve been all over berry colored lippies. I decided to have a little fun and showcase them by categorizing the intensities: low, medium and high color concentrations.

…..what’s better than a MAC Tendertone? Nooo, I’m just kidding. I’ve actually never owned the Tendertones but I don’t feel like I’m missing out. Especially since I got them 2 for $8.99. I find these perfect for a little color tint. Like when I’m at work and don’t have time to run to a mirror.

CoverGirl’s Wetslicks AmazeMint #625

I absolutely love this lippie. This has to be one of my favorites! The color in the tube isn’t as dark on my lips so it works out beautifully. The minty taste doesn’t hurt either. It isn’t too powerful but it is absolutely pleasant applying on the lips. This is a great “gotta run into the mall” or “out to eat with the co-workers” look.

I’m a nut for giving that lipgloss

its own photoshoot, uh? HA!

[HIGH]NARS Afghan Red

If you are lookin’ for a serious berry-licious look, I’m thinkin’ that a highly pigmented lipstick is the way to go. NARS Afghan Red is seriously one of my favorite lipsticks. I know, I know. I say that about all of my products, but this baby here has me goin’ around pokin’ my lips out every time I wear it. It is great for ladies’ night out!

all three of them look GORGEOUS on you! all of them compliment your skin tone sooo well. i’m crazy about the jelly balm and nars lipstick. gorgeous!

Nudiemuse

Love them. I have been a berry lippie lover for years now.

I might have to pick up those Hip Tendertones dupes. Those are nice.

Twinkle Twinkle

I say yay to any kind of lipstick. I buy a lot, but never wear them. Shame on me, I should try and get on that. And I am really excited about the Cult of Cherry lipsticks. I can’t wait…

Anjela

Hey!

You’ve inspired me to try those berry lipsticks now! Most of the time I just buy a neutral lippie so I don’t look like a fool, lol! But I think I may have to kick my neutral habit and go all out with the berries!

Product Junkie Diva

Love this post!!!!Very cute. Does the Loreal lip product have a scent? I guess that is what sold me on tendertones.Thanks for this post.Product Junkie Diva

Kieya

they look great but i’m more about these head scarves you been rockin lol….love this one

B

Sass–> Girl, grab ’em! You will not be disappointed. Trust!

VB–> Ohmigoodness, I love you and the corny jokes. Why are we just alike in that area? LOL! Although if berry foundation was out, you know we could rock it. Kinda.

BGG–> Yay! You’re back and in action. That NARS is my first love. Forget trying to get married.

Fab Vixen–> Jelly Balms are perfect for you then. Go get ’em! But not until they are buy 1, get 1 free.

Yummy411–> You know I got you, cuz. I’ll mail you some. Heheeee.

Anjela–>Girl, I’m glad we linked up b/c I used to be the same way with the neutral/boring lippies. With my blog sistas to inspire me, I’ve certainly nipped that in the bud. Now I’m always trying to wear some color. But in moderation.

PJD–> They do but they don’t smell as good as the Tendertones, I will admit that. They have a bit of a coconutty smell but it’s not as much as I would have liked.

Kieya–> Thanks sweets. You know how it is. Gotta give the hair a break so for over a month now I’ve been faithfully wearing wraps/scarves.

I passed by a display of the L’Oreal HIP Jelly Balms today in Walgreens.

Now I’m kicking my own butt because that Luscious looks so super cute on you!!!

Anjela

Hey B,

I went to Walgreens yesterday and I picked up one of those CoverGirl WetSlicks AmazeMint. I got the one in Plum Crazy (625)! It is something else!!

Nora

Those colors are so stunning on you!! ^^

Apple Diva

You need to try a Tendertone. JBs are definitely OK.

Stefanie

Girl, I’m mad at the foliage surrounding the lip gloss. You so crazy! I’m going to have to check those jelly balms out though. Save me some money since I’ve been obsessed with MAC’s Lip Gelees.
